Xiao Yan Arrived at the Imperial Capital

Several days passed in a flash. After once again detoxifying Old Master Nalan, Lin Ming left Nalan Family.

After returning to his courtyard, Lin Ming took Xiao Yi Xian back to their room.

After several hours of fussing, Lin Ming nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian, whose cultivation had reached the Peak Dou Master. Then, dragging his tired body, he returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

While Lin Ming was fast asleep, two figures flew rapidly through the sky, rushing towards the Imperial City.

"Elder Hai, let's go down! I think the Imperial City is just ahead." Looking at the magnificent city revealed beneath the clouds, Xiao Yan exhaled and said slowly.

The scene of Nalan Yanran coming to annul the engagement more than two years ago was still vivid in Xiao Yan's mind. Now, with a few months left before the Three Year Agreement, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the Imperial Capital Imperial City of the Jia Ma Empire.

This time, Xiao Yan will repay the humiliation of the annulment of the engagement once and for all, not for himself, but to prove his father wrong.

After saying that, Xiao Yan flapped his Purple Eagle Wings vigorously and descended downwards.

As he descended, a magnificent and Vast Mountain Range appeared before Xiao Yan in the north of the Imperial Capital. Looking at this mountain range, which resembled a crouching Giant Dragon, and the soaring spiritual Spirit Qi emanating from it, Xiao Yan knew that this was the location of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Misty Cloud Sect... Nalan Yanran, the piece of trash you humiliated back then is about to come to keep your appointment. Are you ready?"

After staring intently at it for a moment, Xiao Yan stopped lingering and began to descend.

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Elder Hai immediately felt sympathy for the Misty Cloud Sect. After all, Xiao Yan was the most outstanding young man he had ever seen besides Lin Ming.

Because Lin Ming arranged for Xiao Yan to visit Lin Ming Elder Hai, Elder Hai meeting didn't proceed as in the original story where Xiao Yan obtained Elder Hai's incomplete map and engaged in battle. This meant that Elder Hai was unaware of Xiao Yan's true strength.

Although we don't know how Xiao Yan the Green Lotus Core Flame from Queen Medusa, the sheer amount of effort he put into it deserves Elder Hai's high regard.

Furthermore, the fact that Xiao Yan was able to refine Tier 6 Medicinal Pill that had broken his seal at such a young age shows that he is not only a 6th Grade Alchemist, but also a 6th Grade Alchemist with Heavenly Flames.

The Misty Cloud Sect's strength is largely due to its possession of the 6th Grade Alchemist, Pill King Gu He. Now, a younger 6th Grade Alchemist with Heavenly Flames has appeared, and he even harbors hostility towards the Misty Cloud Sect. One can only imagine the Misty Cloud Sect's reaction upon learning this.

After landing on the ground, Xiao Yan looked at the magnificent imperial capital. Of all the cities Xiao Yan had ever seen, the Xiao Yan Jia Ma Imperial City before him was undoubtedly the most imposing and largest. He couldn't help but chuckle and exclaim, "No wonder it's the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire! It's truly magnificent!"

"Alright, let's go! We'll head straight to the Mittel Auction House." Seeing Xiao Yan's sigh, Elder Hai spoke up directly.

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement with Elder Hai's suggestion to go to the Mittel Auction House.

The current Xiao Yan is not like the one in the original novel, unaware that Elder Hai a member of the Mittel Family. The fact that Lin Ming was willing to give up his Heavenly Flames in exchange for Pill Refining to remove Elder Hai's seal shows that Elder Hai and Lin Ming have a very close relationship.

Xiao Yan didn't know Lin Ming's exact position within the Mittel Family, but the fact that Ya Fei addressed him as "Brother Lin Ming" indicated that Xiao Yan Lin Ming's status within the Mittel Family was definitely not low. Therefore, it wasn't surprising at all that Elder Hai mentioned going to the Mittel Family.

Of course, aside from not finding it strange, Xiao Yan still had a few months left on his Three Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran. He didn't want to waste that time.

As the largest auction house in the Imperial Capital, Mittel Auction House naturally has a vast collection of good items, and you might just find what you need there.

Another point is that the agreement made with Lin Ming to borrow the Lotus Pedestal of the Green Lotus Core Flame for a year is almost up.

Although Xiao Yan was very reluctant to return the Lin Ming Lotus Platform, he had no choice but to do so.

His own family, the Xiao Family, was also in the Jia Ma Empire. If the Mittel Family targeted the Xiao Family because he didn't return the Lotus Pedestal containing the Green Lotus Core Flame, then he would be in big trouble.

If his family suffered great losses because of a Lotus Pedestal, Xiao Yan would feel guilty to death. Moreover, Lin Ming was someone who even his teacher, Old Yao, was astonished by.

Such people should either be dealt with directly to prevent future troubles. However, during the last exchange, Old Yao, the Dou Emperor Expert who fought against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, sensed that his aura had not disappeared from the Monster Mountain Range.

Xiao Yan had witnessed both of the Dou Emperor Expert against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. During the second battle, Lin Ming was clearly cooperating with this Dou Emperor.

With Old Yao controlling Xiao Yan's body, he could at most fight against a Dou Emperor Expert. As for defeating Lin Ming, a Dou Emperor Dou King Expert, that was obviously unrealistic.

In truth, if Old Yao were truly to take action, it wouldn't just be about eliminating Lin Ming, a Dou King Expert; he would have to take down Yun Yun, a Dou Emperor Expert, as well to avoid future trouble. If either Lin Ming or the Dou Emperor Expert escaped, Xiao Yan and the Xiao Family would face endless pursuit from the Mittel Family. That's why Old Yao paid such a high price to exchange with Lin Ming.

After speaking, Elder Hai strode towards the city. Seeing Elder Hai's actions, Xiao Yan Elder Hai not delay and followed him.

Walking through the bustling Imperial City of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan, though not quite like a country bumpkin entering the city, was still somewhat shocked.

Following Elder Hai through the Imperial City, after walking for more than two hours, Elder Hai's laughter rang out, interrupting Xiao Yan, who was observing.

"Hey, we've arrived at the auction..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stopped and looked up at the massive building that appeared at the end of the street and the Mittel Auction House sign. A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

After a moment, Xiao Yan shook his head, composed himself, and sighed, "As expected of the headquarters of the Mittel Family! Such a vast and magnificent scale is indeed incomparable to the branch office in Wutan City."
